The Ohio Thread

[deuce92591]

Any word on when this might be hitting? Brewery only or distro?

 

[BuckTuckian]

Is anyone else in here going to the OSU vs VA TECH football game Sept 6th?
Or would be interested in tailgating/bottle sharing?

 

[brees6221]

Anyone traveling to Baltimore for the OSU vs. Navy game on 8/30 and interested in a bottleshare tailgate? I live about 25 minutes south of Baltimore but am from southern Ohio; looking for some Buckeye fans to drink good beer with before the game.

 

[deuce92591]

Columbus TB'ers. Anyone going to be out for the Rutgers game this weekend? Looking for a little tail gate action. Would be more than happy to bring a cooler of Crooked Stave, Upright, HF and of course some Ma Wilson's cracker sausage.

Coming down from Toledo, but no real plans yet except to get to the shoe around 330. Hit me up if you want to kick it.

Cheers.

Columbus folks, St James Tavern looks like it is tapping a keg of BB Plead the Fifth tonight as part of some Dark Horse event!

Rozis Wine House in Lakewood got a case of Hoppin Frog BANE, supposively aged in the BORIS van Wink barrels. $19.99 a bottle. I left them all there because that beer is trash IMHO but to each their own

I love Naked Evil, but that's not my reason for posting. Apparently, it was a blend. Not all of the BANE was in BORIS Van Wink barrels.

Any way to tell which has pappy?

Not that I know of. They were pretty vague when they told me. All I really got was "it's a blend, so it's not just old BORIS van wink barrels."

 

[deuce92591]

It's happening.

 

[grandmeaulnes]

is that hitting distro

Read Ohio only on FB. HF is infamous in my mind for saying one thing, and doing another when it comes to distro though. So only time will tell.

Yeah, it'll be "Ohio only" until cases show up in Chicago a month from now.

Check out the Barrel and Bottle. It is inside the North Market, they get new deliveries on Friday and also have Brothers Drake mead. They recently expanded their shop and put in a bar too. Weilands (a grocery store) is another great store for bottles and is close enough off 71 that it's not a big detour. Can't speak about Crafted Drafts, as I've never been but they seem to have a solid selection.

Thanks for the info!

Forever tickin!

Haha I have a case of ticks I picked up at a gas station in Tiffin already lol. NEED MOAR TICKS!

They have a cooler of single 12oz beers, all priced individually, but the selection varies and isn't huge. I think crafted drafts has a way bigger selection of singles, but again I havent been, maybe someone else can chime in.

Nearby Barrel and bottle is House Beer which only has singles, and they have a nice selection, but they're priced a little higher than anywhere in town due to their location. weilands, who I mentioned earlier usually has a nice selection of singles too with a lot of local and Ohio options.

Anyone seeing any 3F oude geuze around in Ohio? Toledo has been bone dry for about a year or more...couple friends aren't sure either that work at shops. Any other areas getting some?

Nada in Cbus for awhile either. Saw some De Cam and Tilquin lately but no 3F.

I believe the last shipment of 3F OG that columbus saw was about a year ago, Dec '12 bottle date.

Where's the tilquin hiding?! Has columbus seen the OG^2 or Rullquin stout?

Anything specific I should tell a coworker to bring me back from Cleveland this weekend?

If he can find Hopstalker cans, those should still be relatively fresh and they are awesome.

Also any Jackie Os 375ml bottles. bourbon brick kiln barley wine hit distro this week and he should be able to find Oil of Aphrodite/maybe rum oil, pawpaw wheat, dark app, etc.

 

[blacknyellow20]

Definitely this. Lizardville Lakewood still had some cans left last week, outside of that the production facility might be your best bet to fiind Hopstalker.

 

[deuce92591]

Might also be some Hoppin Frog BANE left if your into Barleywine.

 

[JM03]

As a Bodhi fanboy, I am obligated to advise you to have him grab a growler if he sees it on tap.

 

[deuce92591]

If he were in the Sandusky area, Small city taphouse will be rocking an awesome draft list Saturday night.

 

[thrashD]

Absolutely this too. I'm not in Cleveland so I'm not sure how available this is but its worth making some calls and having him seek this out.

Thanks guys! Surprised that no one suggested Great Lakes Christmas. I thought you Ohioans love that stuff

Turns out he's flying (cheap f'n Frontier airlines rates!), so that rules Bodhi growlers out. Hopefully he checks a bag and can bring back some Hopstalker cans for me.

Sorry, missed this. Quetsche at Weilands this week....wasn't the og. Haven't seen og2 or stout.

They had a good amount of BB Brick Kiln...which is delicious!

Rivertown brewing is rebranding:
http://www.wcpo.com/entertainment/l...vertown-brewing-on-the-verge-of-a-renaissance

Seems like a good decision on their part, ive always enjoyed their AWA offerings.

Also, $8.99 6-packs of berliner in cans got me feeling a certain way.

 

[Brubaker1]

For anyone interested in some Schramm's meads, I'm planning to make a stop there on my way to 4Elf in a few weeks. I'd be happy to be your bro and go pick it up for you as long as you can pick it up IP in Columbus.

 

[itsthepleats]

...Has columbus seen the OG^2....

On the shelf at Barrel and Bottle

 

[Brubaker1]

Zaftig ZBS - 100% worth trying. On tap now at their brew location.

 

[CaptCleveland]

Avery Maharaja on tap at Shaker Heinen's.

Going to be driving with the family through Ohio Super Bowl weekend, then back though the weekend after.

2 questions.

1. What will be the best bottleshop option to stop off 70 (between IN and Columbus) or off 33 (between Columbus and WV)? Won't have much time to make a stop. So closer to interstate the better.

2. Will Nugget Nectar be on shelves then?

Thanks!

You'll pass right by Jackie O's on 33. Stop at the taproom and buy bottles and then head over to the brew pub for some cheese curds and whatever they have on draft
